Book a hog roast in Chiswick
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Autumn and winter afternoons in Chiswick get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Gather dietary requirements early

Funeral wake catering in Chiswick, carved to order
If the service runs late, we wait: a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact for the day. Whether it’s gatherings at the family home and gatherings at clubs and pubs, we can cook apple sauce, salads and new potatoes for your guests.
For a wake in Chiswick, a hall or club with a yard or garden is frequently simplest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Chiswick questions
Could you cook in Turnham Green?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Chiswick?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What if the service runs late?
Give us a contact for the day and we will serve when everyone is there.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
What do we need to organise?
Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A friend or relative we can call
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
As a London location, Chiswick is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Comparing caterers
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- What crockery is supplied
- VAT, if it applies
- A clear list of what’s included
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
Our staff are discreet and respectful.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
What affects the price in Chiswick
There’s no fixed price list, because every wake is different. What matters most:
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Plates or china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
- Dietary requirements
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
